I should point out to those who want to aspire to "higher causes" that I've
done a fair bit of Ada work for NASA.
I'd also like to point out the one common thread that *really* runs through
all the major problem domains Ada is typically mentioned with (Defense,
Aerospace, Air Traffic Control, NASA, public transit) is not killing things,
but the prime importance of doing things right. These are all domains where
you want the highest quality possible, because people have to entrust their
lives (or large anounts of their money) on the flawless operation of the
software systems.
T.E.D.
